Chapter 81 You ask me and I answer
Ask yourself, if you say that you have no desire to get closer to Huo Shizhen emotionally, you are deceiving yourself.
If there is no good feeling, who can tolerate emotional misunderstandings and tolerate others making fun of themselves and another person together.
What's more, Lin Guantang is not a very tolerant person. At least he will not allow his relatives and friends to discuss things that he doesn't like or cannot accept without stopping them.
But he hasn't completely sorted out his feelings yet, and he doesn't know what Huo Shizhen thinks of him.
If it was just for the joint secret mission of the Military Academy and the O Institute, and they wanted to train me as much as possible, they would give me all kinds of generous care;
If he remained indifferent to all the rumors, it was really because he didn't care at all...
If Huo Shizhen had no intention of being attracted to him——
Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if I confessed it abruptly?
What's more, Lin Guantang didn't want to be misunderstood as wanting to have a closer relationship with Huo Shizhen because he was greedy for fame and fortune.
However, regarding this point, even Lin Guantang himself could not say with a clear conscience that his good impression of Huo Shizhen had nothing to do with the various benefits Huo Shizhen brought him.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that it was precisely because Huo Shizhen treated him so well, with what could even be described as special care that made him want to get closer to Huo Shizhen.
But in this way, Lin Guantang was completely unable to tell whether his affection for Huo Shizhen originated from his unique silver hair and red eyes, because his appearance suited his aesthetic taste, or because Huo Shizhen's unconditional care for him made him develop feelings for him that went beyond the scope of ordinary friendship.
Or was it simply because Huo Shizhen was full of mysteries that attracted him to get closer and solve those mysteries one by one.
Before he himself can figure out why his heart is moved and whether it is truly a feeling of "just liking this person and wanting to be with him", he does not want to easily break this veil, otherwise he will not even be able to be friends in the future.
And now, there is a more important consideration.
If Huo Shizhen is really an immortal species, should he let the relationship continue to grow?
This question is really challenging.
If this is true, then the distance between him and Huo Shizhen is no longer one that requires bridging the gap between rich and poor classes or regions, but rather one that is suspected of being a species difference.
Just imagine that decades later, I will be old and Huo Shizhen will still be as young and vigorous as he is now. That scene is really heartbreaking... But this is something too far away, so there is no need to worry so much for the time being.
But right now… falling in love with someone who is more than a hundred years older than you is still very stressful for your heart.
So it would be best if he is not that kind of immortal species, but if not, how to explain these abnormalities in Huo Shizhen?
Lin Guantang was so worried that he had no appetite and didn't even pay attention to when the dinner ended. When he came to his senses, he was already in the courtyard of the villa.
But he still couldn't come up with a better explanation. When he was struggling to decide whether to ask Huo Shizhen directly, he heard Huo Shizhen say:
"Just say what you want to say."
Huo Shizhen had been watching him in deep thought all the way and couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
Ever since Lin Guantang heard Yuan Zhiren talk about his habit of taking nutritional supplements, he looked at him with something strange, as if he were some kind of monster.
Huo Shizhen certainly knew that under normal circumstances, no one would be accustomed to taking nutritional supplements for a long time, but this special habit was something he expected to be a little surprised about, and he shouldn't be alarmed.
I'm afraid Lin Guantang has imagined something not so good.
Huo Shizhen didn't intend to guess what random things he was thinking. When he looked at him with hesitation, he decided to let him ask directly.
"Senior—"
Lin Guantang paused, thought about it, and felt that if his guess was correct, then another name would be more appropriate:
"Senior, you—you can't be over a hundred and twenty years old."
Huo Shizhen: ...
Even the honorific is used, it seems that it is not a question, but a sincere feeling.
Although I don’t know how Lin Guantang was able to connect this to something else, my guess is indeed too outrageous.
Huo Shizhen sneered and looked down at him with a gloomy expression:
"Why, do I look old?"
The reddish-brown eyes contained a dangerous aura that startled Lin Guantang. He felt a sense of crisis that if he answered "yes", he would be killed on the spot.
Lin Guantang immediately shook his head. He was not an aging person.
No matter from which aspect, Huo Shizhen has nothing to do with old age. Even though his hair is silver, it is still very shiny and feels good, and it is not at all the withered state of old age.
Later he realized that what he said did seem to imply that he despised his old age, so he quickly added his speculation about the immortal species.
Lin Guantang felt that his guess was still very reasonable, but Huo Shizhen's expression became worse and worse.
After he finished the last word, Huo Shizhen chuckled -
Looking at his cold expression, he was probably laughing out of anger this time.
Then I heard Huo Shizhen say lightly:
"In that case, call the ancestor to listen."
Lin Guantang: ...
This indifferent and somewhat sarcastic answer seems to be a wrong guess.
Lin Guantang breathed a sigh of relief.
Since you are not an immortal species, there is no need to worry about age.
A gust of cold wind blew past, making Lin Guantang's chaotic mind suddenly clear up. He suddenly felt ashamed of "what was I thinking just now, and why did I say it in front of myself".
But I still can’t figure it out.
Lin Guantang was puzzled and asked:
"Since you are a normal person, why don't you eat and take nutritional supplements?"
Huo Shizhen answered casually:
“Very convenient.”
There is no way to refute it.
However, if it is for convenience, then you shouldn't have such long hair.
Lin Guantang's eyes fell on his hair. It was so long and not too thin. His hair was of good quality. He must have taken good care of it. Even if he just washed his hair, it would waste a lot of time, which was completely contrary to the so-called "convenience" habit.
——When you think about it this way, in fact, both the hair quality and the skin feel are in a very young and energetic state, and even the mental state is still fresh and vigorous, which is completely different from the elders who have experienced hundreds of years... So how can such a weird idea come up!
And he even questioned me in a serious manner.
Huo Shizhen is not an immortal, but Lin Guantang already has a faint sense of death in his heart.
Now that things have come to this, there is no way to embarrass myself further.
After a moment of dejection, Lin Guantang decided to take this opportunity to find out all the doubts he had.
"Then why do you keep your hair so long? It's so troublesome to take care of, it's not convenient at all."
“I’m too lazy to cut it.”
"The reason for this hair color is——"
"Premature graying of hair."
"But your temperature is also abnormal. It's too low."
"Innate."
Lin Guantang: ...
Although every word was responded to and the reasons sounded reasonable, I still felt like I was being treated perfunctorily.
and--
At that time, he had already walked from the yard to the corridor. Lin Guantang ran two steps quickly and stepped onto the stairs, standing in front of Huo Shizhen, then looked down at his entire face hidden under his long silver hair.
When Huo Shizhen looked up, he could clearly see the relaxed expression with a smile on his face.
Lin Guantang was completely certain that he was just speaking nonsense casually and deliberately trying to tease him.
